Jewel Caye is a premier, fully developed private island offering a "plug-and-play" luxury experience in the heart of the Caribbean. Unlike raw land parcels, this 2-acre sanctuary is an engineered tropical retreat featuring extensive residential infrastructure and high-end resort amenities. Combined with the "Jewel Landing" mainland estate, the property provides a seamless logistical loop for owners who desire the seclusion of an atoll with the convenience of a riverfront marina and mainland base.
Property Details
The island features multiple elevated structures designed to capture 360-degree sea breezes:
Master Residences: Two 2,000 sq. ft. villas anchor the north and south ends. Each features wood-beam ceilings, hardwood floors, a loft, and a modern kitchen.
Guest Duplexes: Two structures (~1,120 sq. ft. each) provide four additional guest suites, each with a loft and kitchenette.
Staff Housing: Three central homes provide high-capacity crew quarters for up to 10 people, easily convertible into further guest lodging.
Mainland Base: Jewel Landing is a rebuilt two-story home with a new metal roof, river-view verandas, and storage for the included 34-foot Boston Whaler.
Land & Waterfront
The island is a landscaped paradise of coconut palms and decorative flora, surrounded by white-sand beaches.
Overwater Clubhouse: A 3,000 sq. ft. open-air pavilion connected by a 120-foot pier. It features a professional kitchen, bar, and a central glass floor for marine life viewing.
Lounging: Multiple windward and leeward decks with palapas ensure comfortable vistas for both sunrise and sunset.
Deep-Water Access: The island and mainland landing both accommodate deep-draft vessels, including the included 34' Boston Whaler and 20' skiff.
Access & Utilities
Jewel Caye is a model of 2026-standard off-grid self-sufficiency:
Power: Solar-powered electrical and water-heating systems with an 18-kilowatt backup generator.
Water: 61 catchment cisterns (33,550-gallon capacity) with high-pressure filtration and purification.
Connectivity: Fully integrated with satellite TV and high-speed WiFi.
Transit: Less than 20 minutes by boat to Sittee River Village for fuel and supplies.
Lifestyle & Value
Priced at USD 4,000,000, Jewel Caye represents one of the most complete island offerings in the Americas. Its proximity to the Garifuna traditions of Hopkins Village adds a layer of cultural richness, while the turnkey nature of the island makes it a prime candidate for immediate commercial conversion into a boutique dive or wellness resort. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a double-asset portfolio (island + mainland) in a region seeing exponential growth in high-end eco-tourism.
